Here you are. Good luck!


Do you consider yourself an Internet addict? Why?

Yes, because I spend hours at a time on the Internet. Wherever I am, I think about the Internet. It's funny - I wasn't like this two years ago.

Do you find that you stay on-line longer than you intended? If so, why?

Yes. There's always things to do before I can sign off - check email, check on the latest releases, check for scripts to edit, look at the newest merchandise being sold on eBay, etc.

Do you neglect household chores to spend more time on-line?

No.

Do others in your life complain to you about the time you spend on-line? If so, what do they tell you?

Occasionally I get a stray comment like, "What do you do all Saturday night?" or "What do you do on the computer all day?" Since everyone around me is either an addict or used to my habit, I don't get those as much.

Do you check your email before something else that you need to do?

Yes. Usually.

How often do you find yourself anticipating when you will go on-line again?

Frequently when I have free time and some free space on my mind to spare.

Do you fear that life without Internet would be boring, empty and joyless? Why?

No, because having friends is much better than relying on the Internet.

Do you yell or act annoyed if someone bothers you while you're online?

In most cases, no, but I will get annoyed if I'm in the middle of something with a deadline, whether it be research or scripts.

Do you lose sleep due to late night log-ins?

No.

What do you prefer, telephone calls or on-line chatting? If the latter, why?

Online chatting, since a keyboard acts as one's shield against nervousness. If I'm talking on the phone, I'd be stuttering and stalling (due to not being able to find the right words).

Do you prefer being on-line rather than going out with others?

No.

Have you ever given out excuses for staying on-line longer? If so, give one or two examples.

No.

Do being on-line for long sessions give you muscular problems? If so, which ones?

None that I am aware of right now.

Have you ever tried to cut down the online time and failed?

Yes.

Give an example of your worst experience ever due to the Internet.

Online bullying, although part of that was my fault.

Do you consider yourself an Internet addict? Why?
-yes, because over 70% of my time awake is spent on my computer, which involves voice communications with people all over the world.

-Checking forums, chatting on IRC/TeamSpeak, etc

Do you neglect household chores to spend more time on-line?
-definitely.

-well, about being on the computer...lets just say it gets my laptop confiscated about 3 times a week...but I'm on the internet every time I'm on the comp, so...yeah...

Do you check your email before something else that you need to do?
-not really...

How often do you find yourself anticipating when you will go on-line again?
-yeah, especially when I'm doing the dishes.

Do you fear that life without Internet would be boring, empty and joyless? Why?
-well, there goes half my friends, my anime, my manga, my games, my forums, news, stories, art, and a whole list of other things.

Do you yell or act annoyed if someone bothers you while you're online?
-yeah...mom barges into my room w/o knocking every time I'm translating Seto no Hanayome (no, not hentai, or even ecchi...)

Do you lose sleep due to late night log-ins?
-you betcha...my "bedtime" is anywhere from 0:00 to 4:00...

What do you prefer, telephone calls or on-line chatting? If the latter, why?
-so much more versatility, as well as not having to have a phone...headsets are so much better...devoice people, mute people, mute yourself, etc...

Do you prefer being on-line rather than going out with others?
-now that, I really can't answer...

Have you ever given out excuses for staying on-line longer? If so, give one or two examples.
-I have to check the news...

Do being on-line for long sessions give you muscular problems? If so, which ones?
-none whatsoever...well, I guess my stomach whines, but that's not a muscle, is it now?

Have you ever tried to cut down the online time and failed?
-quite miserably...well, that's with my mom trying, and me fighting it, but heck, what's the diff? Either way, it's not going to happen...ever...gamer, programmer, scanlater, graphics designer...computer geek...

Give an example of your worst experience ever due to the Internet.
